These Keto Pizza Roll-Ups are cheesy, savory, easy to make, and packed with classic pizza flavor without using traditional pizza dough. A simple egg-and-cheese base creates a flexible low-carb wrap that is filled with mozzarella, pepperoni, and pizza sauce, then rolled into an easy handheld snack or quick meal.
They are perfect for lunch, an after-school snack, game day, or an easy low-carb dinner. Serve them warm with extra marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Why You Will Love This Recipe
These roll-ups are simple and use familiar ingredients. There is no yeast, kneading, or waiting for dough to rise. The egg-based crust bakes quickly and becomes flexible enough to roll once it has cooled slightly.
You can also customize the filling with sausage, mushrooms, olives, peppers, ham, or different cheeses.
Ingredients
For the Pizza Base
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup finely ground almond flour
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Filling
- 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 to 24 pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Ingredient Notes
Eggs: Eggs bind the crust together and help it remain flexible enough to roll.
Almond flour: Finely ground almond flour gives the base more structure than eggs and cheese alone. Avoid coarse almond meal for the best texture.
Mozzarella: Low-moisture shredded mozzarella works especially well because it melts smoothly without releasing too much liquid.
Pizza sauce: Use a thick sauce and avoid adding too much. Excess sauce can make the roll-ups difficult to roll and may cause the filling to leak.
How to Make Pizza Roll-Ups
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the salt, garlic powder, baking powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Whisk until completely combined.
- Add one cup shredded mozzarella, almond flour, and Parmesan.
- Mix until a thick, evenly combined batter forms.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a thin rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the base is set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about five minutes.
- Spread the pizza sauce over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle with one cup shredded mozzarella.
- Arrange the pepperoni evenly over the cheese.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan and additional Italian seasoning.
- Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the crust into a tight log.
- Place the roll seam-side down.
- Slice into approximately 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet.
- Return to the oven for another eight to 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden.
- Let cool for several minutes before serving.
How to Keep the Roll-Ups from Breaking
Do not overbake the crust during the first bake. If it becomes too crisp, it may crack when you try to roll it.
Let it cool for about five minutes before adding the filling. It should be warm and flexible rather than piping hot.
Roll slowly and keep the filling relatively thin. Too much sauce or cheese can push out of the sides.
How to Get a Crispy Outside
For crispier edges, bake the sliced roll-ups for a few extra minutes during the second bake.
You can also lightly spray the exposed crust with olive oil before returning the slices to the oven.
A few minutes under the broiler at the end can add extra browning, but watch carefully because cheese can burn quickly.
Air Fryer Option
After preparing and slicing the roll-ups, arrange them in a single layer in a lightly greased air fryer basket.
Air fry at 350°F for about five to seven minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly crisp.
Cook in batches if necessary so air can circulate around each piece.
Easy Pizza Roll-Up Variations
For sausage pizza roll-ups, replace some or all of the pepperoni with cooked crumbled Italian sausage.
For supreme-style roll-ups, add small amounts of cooked mushrooms, diced peppers, olives, and sausage.
For ham and cheese pizza rolls, use chopped ham with mozzarella and a little Parmesan.
For spicy roll-ups, add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes.
For extra cheese, combine mozzarella with provolone or Monterey Jack.
What to Serve with Pizza Roll-Ups
Serve them with warm pizza sauce, marinara, garlic butter, or ranch dressing for dipping.
For a complete meal, add a green salad, roasted broccoli, zucchini, cucumber salad, or cauliflower rice.
They also work well as an appetizer for parties or game-day gatherings.
Low-Carb and Keto Note
These Pizza Roll-Ups can fit a low-carb eating pattern when made with almond flour and a low-sugar pizza sauce, but the exact carbohydrate content depends on the specific cheese, sauce, pepperoni, almond flour, and serving size used.
If you track net carbohydrates closely, calculate the recipe using the nutrition labels from your exact ingredients.
Storage and Reheating
Store cooled roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days.
For the best texture, reheat them in an air fryer or oven until hot and lightly crisp.
The microwave works for a quick option, but the crust will remain softer.
You can also freeze the cooked roll-ups for up to one month. Freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container.
